V3000s maultier

Steve,, only $1.00??? Those bricks are heavy,,,😆😆 and are worth at least a $1.25 for 200..... I have to say that this has to be one of the most tedious tasks that I've taken on to date. And I think the pictures are proof.😬 So the next to last picture shows the walls and general layout.. a lot of masonry work ahead of me..😩😩 perhaps Mr John Race our local resident builder could lend a helping hand 😬 Or drum up a labor force for me

So with the road stone work wrapping up, I've been wondering what color (s) should I choose??? Since my oringinal thought was to have the setting someplace in Italy or perhaps in North Africa, I am wondering should the colors be all some earth tone / sand or could I get away with some grey? Also I am going to rework the sidewalk pieces that I cut out and have placed so far. I simply don't like the look and placement of them. Comments and suggestions welcomed

Well worth the patience mate. A wonderful result. If in Italy you could get away with a grey mixture of bricks. You may also want to consider light and dark reds also. For Africa you would probably want to stick with sand colours. Look forward to seeing what you decide

Thanks Steve for the assistance. Not sure which way I will go,, maybe a couple of experiments first. I did change the sidewalk pieces that I had installed before and like this look much better. An iron gate and a couple of columns are forth coming,

Scottie, thanks and yes the stonework was back breaking...😬 I probably only have a couple hundred.. can't imagine 1400

Bricks, there are brick and bricks but these are the dogs doodahs bricks.

Sorry mate I have been lacking in following this. Have to say nice to see a fellow Chopper fan.

The cobbles/bricks are looking really good, once I got into the swing of brick making its quite relaxing ( perhaps I should get out more

I don't know it you are going to just drag a coarse sand paper or stiff wire brush,( those very small ones ) and just take some of the squareness off the long sides. Not a lot a pressure needed but it results in a worn looking road way. This is just a suggestion

That looks great , love the coping stones on the top. Very neatly cut I might add . You know how the cork goes if you rough it up , very soft on the edges , you may find that just a flat section of sand paper say 100 grit just pulled backwards over the cork will give you the warn look. Just try it lightly at first.
